Temple in quietness

Yamazaki Shoten Temple was very quiet surrounded with beautiful trees.

Scaring enemies away

This is a Nio statue at Hoshakuji Temple. I was saddened to see how badly it was damaged.

Modest beauty

I found this modest autumn beauty at Hoshakuji Temple.

Autumn splendour

I enjoyed glorious autumn colours at the gate of Hoshakuji Temple.

Pagoda in autumn

This is a three-storey pagoda of Hoshakuji Temple. The temple is located just near the border of Osaka and Kyoto.

Temple with trees

Seiryoji Temple was very quiet in the busy Arashiyama area.

Simple lamp

This simple lamp was creating a tasteful atmosphere at the entrance of Rengeji Temple. Rengeji is just near famous Ninnaji Temple.

Steps in winter

The steps of Anrakuji Temple were very clear with almost no fallen leaves.

Tasteful simplicity

This is the gate of Anrakuji Temple which shows the ultimate in the tasteful simplicity.

Red and Green

I found this beautiful nanten shrub at Okazaki Betsuin Temple late in the autumn. Nanten shrubs always show a pleasing combination of red and green.

Quietness

As Okazaki Betsuin Temple was not a tourist site it was filled with quietness.

The roofs

This photo shows the roofs of the main gate of Nanzenji Temple. Although Nanzenji is a large temple complex I was not impressed with the temple except this grand gate.

Starting to change

I took this photo at Nanzenji Temple where trees were starting to change their colours.
